Our research project deals with the black literary and cultural journal Présence Africaine, first published in 1947. By re-examining selected issues, the project attempts to shed new light on black thought and political movements of the mid-20th century, thereby attempting to explore the changing relations between politics and culture in the increasingly globalized world of the post-Cold War era. To achieve this aim, the project will consist of collective reading of texts published in the journal and written in a variety of languages, reflection on current black thoughts such as négritude from different angles, and research on the journal’s connection with international black movements.
